What madness!! We closed last night in a Guy Fawkes Explosion of Fury!! The fires raged and it all culmulated in a final night of madness....

George Bush dolls burned the brightest and by far were the most popular for throwing on the bonfires. There were vendors selling the dolls, posters, flags and and virtually anything with his image or typical stars and stripey stuff....

Tony Blair was a distant second (usually tied-up with GWB). 9/10 people though Sadam should go free and GWB should take his place for the hanging....lots of people just skipped the dolls and stuck the flags on the fire...

Weird we stayed away from it ourselves and just allowed people to throw on what they wanted. Funny you have to be careful not to do too much gore and keep it toned down.... but the kids can burn all the flags, soldiers and GWB dolls they want...

Lots of fire works - they are always the best! But alas these are war-themed as well!

I am surprised by your post. Most of the people on this forum are from the USA. Even though we may not support the policies of our President, we still find it offensive throwing him in a fire. WE REALLY FIND BURNING FLAGS OFFENSIVE AND CRIMINAL.

GWB is not a terrorist, Sadam is. He has murdered thousands and should hang by the neck.

I am wondering why you would make this post if not just to upset everyone!

I read that post as simply "Reporting" what had happened.
I am interested to hear about what is happening elsewhere, knowledge is power.
We live in a fairly "Young" country the wealth is still being sorted out and divied up, in Europe the "Goods" have been basically in the same hands for 1,000's of years, I would think the average european would have a slightly different outlook on politics,especially since they endured two world wars.
History can warn us, tell us many things, if we don't ignore it.
